GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 608,540, dated August2, 1898.

Application filed March 27, 1897. Renewed May 6, 1898. Serial No.630,081I. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLF BELER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented or discovered certain new and usefulImprovements in Gas-Burners, of which improvements the following is aspecification.

The invention described herein relates to certain improvements ingas-burners, especially to that class or kind which are employed aspilot or auxiliary lights for the purpose of igniting the gas in a mainburner.

My improvement is especially designed to prevent the blowing out of thepilot-light by the sudden rush of gas when the valve of the, main burneris open or the quick puff or eX- plosion which occurs at the time thevalve at the main burner is closed.

The invention is more fully hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved burner, the several partscomposing the same being slightly separated for the purpose ofillustration. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation, the plane of sectionbeing indicated by the line II II, Fig. l; and Fig. 3 is a sectionalView, the plane of section being indicated by the line III III,

Fig. 2.

In the practice of my invention the burner consists of a tube or nipple1, preferably closed at its upper end and provided at its lower end withscrew-threads, whereby it may be attached to a suitable supply-pipe.This tube or nipple is provided with one or two or more horizontalflanges 2, which are preferably formed integral with the tube or nipple,and also with a series of radial wings 3, arranged between the flangesand by preference fitting in verticalslots in the flanges 2 and also bypreference projecting into the grooves in the walls of the tube ornipple. As will be readily seen by reference to Figs. 5 1, 2, and 3, aseries of radial pockets is formed around the central tube or nipple,said pockets having their outer ends open. Each of these pockets isconnected with the interior ofme central tube or nipple by one, two, ormore small perforations 4, admitting the gas to the pockets, where theflame will be protected upon all sides but one from the drafts orcurrentsof air which would tend to extinguish it. On top of the burneris secured a metal disk 5, preferably projecting beyond the outer endsof the radial wings and adapted to protect especially the upper seriesof pockets from all downward drafts or currents of air and also againstwater which drips on the flanges and closes the perforations.

It is characteristic of my improvement that one or more of the jets orflames will be protected as against any disturbing influence, as bycurrents of air, whether such currents pass horizontally across theburner or vertically up and down valong the same.

I claim herein as my invention In a gas-burner, the combination of acentral tube, a series of two or more flanges formed integral with thetube and arranged intermediate of the ends of the tube, a cap secured onthe upper end of the tube and projecting beyond the flanges, a series ofwings independent of the tube and projecting between the flanges and thecap and passages connecting the interior of the tube with the pocketsformed by the flanges, cap and wings, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

ADOLF BELER.
